From a website visitor: My grandfather was born in Ponce de Leon but moved to DeFuniak Springs as a young boy & I think his parents lived there for over 30 years (early 1900s to the early 30s). I have a picture of the house that they lived in & wondered if anyone can tell me if it is still standing? . . . My mother (who is now almost 80) remembers visiting it as a young girl & she said it was about one block from the lake. My grandfather was Glen Ballard Simmons. His parents were Jesse Asbury Simmons and Lillian (or Lillie) Simmons. ![](https://waltonpast2present.com/MessageBoards/SimmonsHouse.jpg) The back of the photo says "twins on steps" (this would be my great aunts, Wilma & Wilfred Simmons). Lula on left and daughter on right. Lillie on inside of fence behind J.A. Simmons (these are my great-grandparents). Lula was Lillie's sister. My grandfather was not in picture. She noted that the back of a similar photo says "Ponce de Leon" but her mother is certain the house was in DeFuniak Springs. Does anyone recognize it? Diane HD#20
